SurvivingBreastCancer.org (SBC)
Sur.viv.or. anyone who has been diagnosed with breast cancer. You are surviving!
Our Mission
To empower those diagnosed with breast cancer and their families from day one and beyond.
Who We Are
SurvivingBreastCancer.org (SBC) is a U.S.-based national nonprofit building the digital infrastructure for breast cancer survivorship.
​
We combine AI-powered navigation, integrative oncology–inspired programs, evidence-informed education, and year-round moderated community support to ensure individuals diagnosed with breast cancer, and their families, have access to credible information, meaningful connection, and whole-person support from diagnosis through long-term survivorship.
​
Serving all 50 U.S. states and a growing international community SBC is redefining how survivorship care is accessed and delivered.
Our Purpose
Breast cancer care does not end when treatment ends.
​
Survivorship is complex, fragmented, and often unsupported. SBC exists to close the gap between clinical care and lived experience ensuring that no one navigating breast cancer feels isolated, uninformed, or unseen.
​
Through free education, accessible technology, and community-centered programming, we empower individuals to make informed decisions, advocate for themselves, and live fully at every stage of their journey.
​
Our Story
SurvivingBreastCancer.org was founded in 2017 by Laura Carfang following her diagnosis in her early 30s. What began as a personal search for trustworthy information and meaningful connection has grown into a national digital survivorship platform serving a global community. What started as filling a gap has evolved into building infrastructure leveraging technology to expand access, remove barriers, and modernize survivorship support at scale.
